<p>Throughout our birthday season, we invite you to escape from the hustle and bustle of town and drop in to our free&nbsp;hang-out&nbsp;area.</p>

<p>If you&rsquo;re feeling adventurous you can explore the building as you follow our special Art Trail, you can take a look at images, posters and artwork from some of our favourite events from our first 21 years, get creative in our drawing and writing stations, share your ideas for events you&rsquo;d like to see over the next 21 years, or simply curl up with a book from our library!</p>

<p><strong><u>Let&rsquo;s Go on an Art Hunt!</u></strong></p>

<p>The Ark is well known for creating and presenting creative experiences with and for children.</p>

<p>What lots of people don&rsquo;t realise is that The Ark itself is full of amazing artworks that have been created for it or as part of its programmes. We&rsquo;ve created a&nbsp;self-guidedtrail to help you discover 21 pieces of the art that fills the building. Find every piece and see if you can work out our secret message!</p>

<p>Suitable for Ages 4+ (but everyone can enjoy the art!)</p>

<p><strong><u>Memories from The&nbsp;Ark-hive!</u></strong></p>

<p>The Ark&rsquo;s team have chosen some of their favourite events and shows from those we have created and presented since 1995. Take a look at some of the fun memorabilia from these selections that we found in our archive &ndash; and then share your memories and let us know what your favourites have been!</p>
